Dutalier rocking chair & stool (BS16)
Needs repair. Canadian brand Dutalier rocking chair and rocking footstool. My children have strained it by rocking too hard and unfortunately one of the round metal cogs at the front of the chair has come out of its socket in the wood. (Last photo.) This means it still rocks but gives a little clunk sensation when you go too far forward. I think someone handy could fix this but it’s beyond our capabilities. The stool is in fine condition. Additionally worth mentioning the cream cushions are showing signs of use, and are not recommended for dry cleaning (Timpsons told me it would invalidate their fire safety, so wouldn’t wash them.)

George Foreman Grill (BS16)
Gifted
George Foreman Grill - needs new fuse. We have had this for a few years and only used infrequently. The Teflon is in excellent condition. After storing for some time I came to use it today and it wouldn’t come on with the plug in the wall. So I think it needs a new fuse - sadly not in my skill set!

Totsbots reusable nappies (BS16)
Gifted
Totsbots reusable nappies. I have five all-in-ones with various prints, and three of the bamboozle night nappies, with the clip in boosters, too. The elastics have gone in these, but the hook and loop (Velcro), PUL and the fibres are still good, so I am hoping these can help someone who knows their way around a sewing machine, or can enlist someone to help replace the elastics. They have been gently used, only washed with non-bio powder, so should not need “stripping”.

King size bed slat (BS16)
Expired
We broke one of our bed slats while moving. I’ve tried to buy a full length king size slat in various stores but they don’t sell them in the right size. Hoping someone might be getting rid of a king size bed that I could repurpose one from.

Large garden store/bin tidy (BS16 1SE)

Large plastic bin tidy/garden store. The plastic hinge cases for the lid have snapped a little (see last photo) which is making it a bit unwieldy for me to lift.
